Includes Syndicate and the American Revolt expansion.
In the dark and twisted cities of tomorrow, corporate syndicates compete for global dominance. But the boardroom deals and corporate takeovers of the future look very different from today: they are lead by marketing directors who manage teams of half-men, half-machine cyborgs with no conscience and plenty of guns.
You are an ambitious marketing director in the Syndicate, hand-picked to lead a team of cyborg mercenaries. You work in the problem-solving department and you are damn good at "taking care" of problems. Some might say that violence is not the answer but you know better. There here are hardly any problems that you can't solve with a well-placed bullet. Collateral damage in the local population and infrastructure during the “negotiations” is, as always, acceptable. After all, what would you expect form the dystopian futuristic world run by mega-corporations?
Syndicate is Bullfrog’s masterpiece of a game in which you aren’t saving the world or protecting innocents. You just make sure that your employers get what they want. At your disposal are four cyborg agents, an impressive arsenal of weapons and gadgets, and a massive selection of cybernetic upgrades. You are free to unleash this power on a highly interactive map where you can blow up buildings, steal cars, light trees on fire, or just shoot stuff. Produced by Peter Molyneux himself, Syndicate is the essence of cyberpunk and, with its great music, stylized visuals, and mind-blowing atmosphere, it has earned its place among the best games of all time. Make sure to check out the game that secured Bullfrog's place in game development hall of fame.
As a game designer myself, I have always wanted to play Syndicate, but playing it is a matter of sheer will due to how outdated and clunky the controls are.
Controlling the characters feels slow and unresponsive.
The pathfinding is laughably bad.
Enemies can see you in buildings, but you cannot see them. (This was what made me quit)
How to play is not really ever explained to you, the manual does a poor job at it.
Overall, I am glad I played it, I can indeed see why it is considered a classic. But its flaws make it hard to recommend to a modern audience.

Thanks GoG you guys finally found it ;^;_;^:
your just Syndicate Plus which was this one plus its sequel American Revolt
Dos Box ruins it.
I mean, I hate it when a game use Dos Box because half of the time there is no sound at all, and configuring it is really a pain in the ass.
I thought GoG was made to make those games playable again? I don't want bad DosBox roms.
I didn't pay the attention I should have. This game has the EA EULA stripping more rights than usual that I'd decided never to agree to. Luckily I hadn't installed it yet, and I won't ask for my money back because I'd rather see the EULA removed so I can play it in good conscience and because I blame myself for not looking rather than GoG for selling something others' may want without being as concerned about a point I happen to be concerned with.
